Who Am I

Who Am I

Who am I

I ask myself

That question

while looking into the mirror

As the mirror looks back

It's says not a word

Siting on the floor

I ask myself again in this mirror

Who am I

While listening to Michael say

The exact words

"I'm going to make a change for once in my life"

Hearing the sound Trickling through my headphones

I paused

And once again the mirror said not a word

This time I leaned up closely on the mirror

I ask again

Who am I

Only this time

Thinking I fell into the mirror

An shattered it

But I didn't

I still saw me

Only the illusion was so real

That this time

I was actually the mirror

That saw

Who am I

As I began to say while taking my headphones off

While looking at my actual body sit in front of the mirror with them still on

The mirror spoke

Only to say visions

Turning around looking

In there was a little girl next to a boy

With gifts a Christmas tree and both their parents

Laughter full that room

Because the kids were just beginning life

As I began to indulge in the moment

The boy looked

In said who are you

In I said who am I

Before I can finish speaking

The chair leg broke

causing me to fall

Backwards thinking I

Hit the floor

Nope I fell right through

To another vision

Where I'm around lots of people

In a house

Look like family gatherings

In I'm hold a baby boy

Couldn't been my baby cause in this vision

I was only 9

So I started to walk around with the baby in enjoy the site of this family

Running into the kitchen where there were plenty of food

I made me in him a hot dog

After that I turn to leave the kitchen

An a lady stopped me and said

Hello who are you

As I looked up at her pretty brown eyes

I said

who am I and right before

Anything else left my mouth

I stumbled right into the food

Thinking I caused it to fall all to the floor

In I went right through the table

This causes me to land into a room with a woman sitting next to me on a bed

Listen to the words she spoke

I must have been her daughter

You are beautiful queen

To smart and very brilliant

I love you with all my heart

Is what she said

Shedding a tear this vision was almost felt real

Like I could touch it again

Looking at myself I'm about 19 I say

Hear her say those words made me ask

Who am I

As I cried and covered my eyes

I keep asking

To get that answer

Something that was deep inside of me

Who am I

An I open my eyes to myself

Only this time I was myself

Not the mirror

Just myself

In my reflection of this woman in the mirror who is

Brilliant and bright

Who stand tall even when her back up against the wall

Who am I

Im a phenomenal woman

Queen of light

A daughter of god

who am I

I'm faith

The mother land

The child Bearer

The front line of women

Who came a long way to fight

I am a black goddess

Who love each and every single being

So the question is who are you

What do you notice about yourself

Who you are

Is who you are can help others

Or your just to good to share

On who you are

Trust me if I can tell you who I am

You can tell me who you are
